TWO SISTERS
Two Sisters is an allegorical story about the dynamics of a relationship between two interdependent sisters, and how it changes with the intrusion of a stranger into their remote and carefully guarded home. One sister, Viola, is a writer, disfigured so that she lives in a dark room hiding from life. The other sister encourages Viola's fear of life, and finds fulfillment taking care of her. The film plays with themes of light and dark, which are the two visual elements of the technique used for making the film, white lines etched into exposed black color 70mm film emulsion. The original version of the film is called Entre Deux Soeurs and is the French language version.
